The wind blows bitterly through the wood,
And the wet leaves break and fall
But God made winter and knows il good,
And winter comes 10 all.
Oh, the days of summer are long and fair
With blue, unclouded sky;
But the very sun grows hard to bear
And the grass turns brown and dry.
Oh, patient pathos of winter skies,
Spread out DER the withered plain
Under your hush n secret lies,
Which is not all of pain.
! know the leaves from the trees are strown.
That the birds have taken wing
They will only find that the trees are grown
When they come back in spring.
